The tournament was organized by the AIFF as part of the India national team's preparation for the third round of 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification matches and for the Asian Cup itself. The tournament naming rights were purchased by Hero MotoCorp which also sponsors the national team. The tournament succeeded the Nehru Cup and developed post the Tri-Nation Series, where the then India head coach Stephen Constantine revealed that the intention was to hold a four-team tournament with India competing against teams from the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia.
The first edition held in 2018 was won by India, while the next edition held in 2019 was won by North Korea.
